I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so
live and let live or let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamonds rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you might think it over
Well, if sweet talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter?
So smile for awhile and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be little rain sometime
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap still waters runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talkin' about
So smile for awhile and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be little rain sometime
